The state of Illinois last week suspended the license of a doctor who works at a Riverside pain management clinic, calling him “an immediate danger to the public” for prescribing controlled substances to patients without ever examining them or obtaining proof of the ailments from which they were suffering. Jessica Baer, the acting director of the Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation filed an order temporarily suspending the license of Dr. William McMahon, who works at Riverside Pain Management, 28 E. Burlington St. in Riverside. See DOCTOR on page 10

Hauser students create flag collage for Veterans Day Art project to be unveiled at annual ceremony honoring those who’ve served By JACKIE GLOSNIAK Contributing Reporter
Since Veterans Day became a federal holiday in 1938, generations of workers and schoolchildren have looked forward to the holiday as day off. However, like many other schools that now use the day to teach American history and the importance of recognizing those who have served in the Armed Forces, Hauser Junior High School in Riverside will be in session on Nov. 11. But, some students at Hauser have spent a bit of time before the holiday reflecting on the significance of the day and expressing what veterans’ sacrifices have meant to them. For the past few weeks, Hauser students have created an art project to be unveiled as part of the school’s annual Veterans Day program on Nov. 11. The project, a 4-by-8 foot mixed-media collage on canvas resembling the American flag, features student drawings
and messages to veterans. The project is the brainchild of art teacher Harjit Singh, who marks his 12th year at the school and was looking for a fun art project to start the school year. Searching the internet for inspiration, Singh stumbled upon the work of Jasper Johns, an American abstract expressionist painter and printmaker, and the idea was born. “[Johns] resonated with me because I really liked some of his work,” Singh said. “I knew every fall we have a Veterans Day program, and one of Johns’ most famous paintings is of the American flag, so what I wanted to do was create a painting with my students in his style.” To accomplish the piece, Singh said, students were able to work on their messages during the school week and began the collage construction during their weekly advisory class periods. For several weeks, after introducing Johns’ work to his students, children in
sixth through eighth grades wrote messages of hope and patriotism on newsprint paper, which Singh then collected to begin the initial layering process. Then, in the mornings, students sifted through the papers and began affixing the pieces onto the large canvas-covered board. Following the layering, students then painted the flag over the messages and images using gently thinned acrylic paint so the collage elements weren’t obscured. Ultimately, Singh’s goal was to demonstrate that despite sharing one unified flag, there are many ways to show love and respect for America. “The American flag is an umbrella on top of the representations of students,” Singh said. To capture the art-making process, Hauser teacher Steven Jones used a GoPro camera to take photos and videos to create a video from See HAUSER ART on page 10
North Riverside sergeant’s lawsuit moves forward A lawsuit filed in 2013 by a North Riverside police sergeant claiming he was retaliated against by village officials for supporting a rival candidate for mayor remains alive after a federal judge denied the village’s motion to force the office to accept the terms of a settlement. Judge John W. Darrah on Oct. 28 agreed with an earlier ruling by a magistrate judge assigned to oversee settlement talks between Sgt. Frank Schmalz and the village. On July 5, Magistrate Judge Mary Rowland ruled that Schmalz had not personally consented to settle the case for a lump sum amount of $60,000, although his attorney had told the judge and the
village’s attorney that he had accepted it. But Schmalz never signed a proposed settlement agreement, and Rowland ruled that his attorney did not have the authority to accept the settlement on his behalf. With Darrah’s ruling, Schmalz’s case will continue toward trial. Both sides are due back in front of Darrah for a status hearing on Jan. 19, 2017. Schmalz has argued that he was passed over for promotion and removed from a gang and drug task force following the election of Hubert Hermanek Jr. as mayor of North Riverside in the spring of 2013. Schmalz was a visible and vocal supporter of
the candidacy of Rocco DeSantis for mayor. The village actions following the election, Schmalz said, violated his First Amendment rights. In addition, Schmalz claimed he was defamed by public statements made by former Mayor Kenneth Krochmal. In November 2013, Schmalz filed a lawsuit in U.S. District Court against past and present members of the North Riverside Village Board and Police Chief Lane Niemann alleging retaliation for his political activities. Most of the defendants were removed from the suit, but Hermanek, Niemann and Krochmal remain as defendants. — Bob Uphues

Brian Basek could never say his threeplus years as fire chief in North Riverside were dull. Promoted shortly after the election of Mayor Hubert Hermanek Jr. in 2013, Basek’s tenure was challenging almost from the start and marked with resentment from firefighters hostile to the village’s attempts to crush their union and privatize the department. Now, with firefighters and village officials back at the negotiating table and the relationship between firefighters and the village administration slowly repairing itself, Basek is calling it a day. After nearly 32 years as a full-time firefighter and three more as a paid-on-call firefighter in the early 1980s, Basek is retiring. His last day on the job will be Nov. 30. “I’ve been to other firefighter retirement parties and asked them when they knew it BRIAN BASEK was time to retire. They said, ‘When that North Riverside fire chief time comes, you will know,’” said Basek. “It got to the point where it was time to fighter in 1981 and became a full-time fireturn the page.” fighter in 1985.

Court nixes Mandell rehearing
Avenues of appeal are running out for Steven Mandell, who was convicted in 2014 of a lurid plot to kidnap, torture, extort and kill a Riverside business man. On Oct. 25, the three-judge panel, which in August affirmed Mandell’s conviction in U.S. District Court, denied a request by Mandell’s attorney for an en banc rehearing of the case by the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals. An en banc hearing would have meant re-hearing the case before every judge in the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals. Such motions are rarely granted. According to the order entered into the court record on Oct. 25, no one on the threejudge panel, which included Richard A. Posner, Frank H. Easterbrook and Ann Claire Williams, requested a vote on the suggestion for an en banc rehearing. Mandell is serving a life sentence in solitary confinement at the Florence, Colorado supermax prison, where some of the nation’s most notorious criminals, including Ted Kaczynski, better known as the Unabomber; Zacarias Moussaoui, convicted of helping carry out the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks; Terry Nichols, convicted for his role in the 1995 bombing of the Alfred P. Murrah Building in Oklahoma City; and Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, sentenced to death for his role in the 2013 Boston Marathon bombing, are being held. With the appellate court’s recent ruling,
Mandell’s only recourse now would be to ask the U.S. Supreme Court to take up the case. Mandell, a former Chicago police officer who previously was known as Steven Manning, had earlier been convicted of a Chicago murder and a Missouri kidnapping but had those convictions overturned on appeal. Sometime by the fall of 2011, he had identified Riverside resident Steven Campbell as a target for extortion and had gone so far as to leave his business card with a handwritten note on the door of Campbell’s Riverside home that October. But his plan to kidnap and extort money and property from Campbell got serious in the summer of 2012 after Mandell met George Michael, a real estate broker who also happened to be an FBI informant. Through Michael, Mandell and Gary Engel – a man who’d also been convicted and then exonerated of a 1990 Missouri kidnapping – set up “Club Med,” a torture chamber set up behind a storefront on Chicago’s Northwest Side, where they planned to take Campbell after kidnapping him. However, the FBI had Club Med under video and audio surveillance and caught the two discussing their plans. Mandell and Engel were arrested by FBI agents outside Michael’s real estate office, where they had planned to carry out the kidnapping in October 2012. — Bob Uphues

his year, 2016, is the next year we Chicago Cubs fans have been waiting for, and Wednesday, Nov. 2, was the someday we have all been waiting for -- some of us longer than others. I think on that day pigs did fly and God did make little green apples. We don’t need no stinkin’ curses anymore, because we are No. 1 and nobody can put Cubbies in the corner anymore. To you naysayers, you can’t handle the truth; the Cubs are the champions of the world. Yes, it finally happened: the Cubs have won the World Series and it is finally sinking in. When I woke up on Nov. 3, I found out it was not a dream. Some of the players have done the Saturday Night Live bits showing some of their other talents (singing isn’t one of them, sorry) and the obligatory trip to Disney World. Joe Maddon is packing up the RV, looking forward to joining his wife on a trek to wherever. The rest of us will still just enjoy what was a long time coming. There are many thank yous to be passed out, of course. The Ricketts fam-
ily and Theo Epstein not only gave us a winning season but rescued us from the negative publicity and crime that had taken over the front pages of the papers. We basked in happy news. Wouldn’t it be nice if it was always this way? To the players, you represented yourselves well on and off the field. Like many, I went through a gamut of emotions, fear, anger, happiness and tears. It is good I watch in the privacy of my own home so as to spare others my thoughts and feelings with antacids close at hand. I wondered about the many rubber bracelets Maddon wears usually in support of some cause, possibly something I would like to support. I wonder what next year will bring, but I don’t have to give fans of other teams any excuses for this year because we (notice how I say “we”) did it and that’s what matters. But I do wonder which of the players will we see on “Dancing with the Stars?” My vote goes to Anthony Rizzo. The Italian stallion seems to have all the right moves! Cubs win! Cubs win!

A 70-year-old Berwyn man faces charges of possessing child pornography after having hundreds of photos downloaded from his phone and printed at the CVS pharmacy in North Riverside, according to police. George W. Banks, of the 1200 block of Wesley Avenue, is being held without bond at Cook County Jail. His next court hearing is scheduled for Nov. 14 at the Maybrook courthouse. North Riverside police responded to CVS at about 2 p.m. on Oct. 26 after a store manager called police to report that Banks was picking up printed photos that included images of child pornography. According to the police report, Banks came into the store at about 12:30 p.m. and told the manager that he’d visited the store the previous night, but was unable to download between 700 and 900 images from his phone, because the size of the files kept crashing the computerized photo processing system. The store manager suggested that Banks download the photos in small batches. He reportedly downloaded the photos as suggested and then left the store while the images were being processed and printed. When Banks returned to collect the photos, a cashier who was assembling the order reportedly saw images that appeared to be child pornography and she advised the manager, who called police. The cashier reportedly told police that Banks didn’t want to enter his real name into the computer system, so he chose the name “Precious” and entered all zeros for his phone number. Banks was at the scene when police arrived and was taken into custody without incident. Police stated that the downloaded photos included images of partially dressed children in sexually suggestive positions. Police said that Banks appears to have downloaded the photos online and that they didn’t believe he took any of the photos himself.

has charged a 37-year-old Riverside man with aggravated criminal sexual assault and aggravated criminal sexual abuse for allegedly touching a juvenile female inappropriately on multiple occasions between June and November, according to Riverside police. The man, who reportedly denied the incidents, was taken into custody on Nov. 3 and charged the next day after police and the state’s attorney’s office conducted interviews with the victim and alleged offender. Riverside police have contacted the Illinois Department of Children and Family Services. The Landmark is not releasing the name of the alleged offender at this time so as not to identify the child victim.
Not very nice Brookfield police cited a 68-year-old Brookfield man for disorderly conduct after he allegedly smeared dog feces on the windshield of a vehicle belonging to one of his former tenants. The former tenant’s vehicle was parked in the 3400 block of Arden Avenue when a witness told her that the man had wiped the feces on her car. Police did not disclose what might have prompted the man to do that, and the former tenant told police she thought she left on good terms a few weeks earlier.
Trumped A resident of the 300 block of Repton Road, Riverside, called police on Nov. 6 to report that someone had placed a “Trump” bumper sticker over the existing “Obama” bumper sticker that was on the rear bumper of her vehicle. The woman was able to peel off the Trump sticker but wanted to report the incident in case other similar incidents were occurring.
Child endangerment Brookfield police charged a 28-year-old Brookfield woman with endangering the life of child after two incidents between Oct. 28 and Nov. 6 involving the apparent use of drugs and the neglect of her 4-year-old son. On Oct. 28, police were called to the woman’s residence by a neighbor who reported discovering the woman and a man passed out in the apartment and the boy awake in the same room. Police contacted the Illinois Department of Children and Family Services at that time. Police and paramedics responded again to the same address on Nov. 6 at 1:15 a.m. by a woman requesting an ambulance. Emergency personnel stated the woman was unable to come to the door and paramedics had to climb through a window to get inside. Police reported observing white powder residue inside and around the edges of the woman’s nostrils. When asked if there was anyone who could care for her son, who was sleeping on a chair in the same room, the woman reportedly told police, “You guys take care of him.” The woman was hospitalized and DCFS took custody of her son. These items were obtained from police reports filed by the Riverside, North Riverside and Brookfield police departments, Oct. 26-Nov. 6, and represent a portion of the incidents to which police responded. Unless otherwise indicated, anybody named in these reports has only been charged with a crime. These cases have not been adjudicated.

Riverside ups parking fees across the board Commuters, 24-hour parkers will see increases come Jan. 1
By BOB UPHUES Editor
Riverside’s village board voted 4 to 0 on Nov. 3 to increase commuter parking permit fees, 24-hour parking permit fees and the amount it charges to park at meters, changes that will become effective Jan. 1, 2017. Starting next year, the cost for commuter parking permits for Lot 1 (which is immediately adjacent to the main train station) and Lot 8 (located along the railroad right-ofway east of the Arcade Building) will jump from $105 per quarter to $130 per quarter. In addition, 24-hour parking permits for lots 1, 2 (on the south side of Pine Avenue), 3 (along Park Place) and 4 (on the north side of Pine Avenue) will increase from $150 per quarter to $175 per quarter. Finally, metered parking in Lot 1 and on the street near the train station will increase from 35 cents every two hours to 25 cents per hour. The increases to the permit parking are expected to bring an additional $22,000 in revenue, while the meter increase is expected to bring in another $10,000. The money goes into a special parking lot fund that pays for maintenance of the village-owned
parking lots. Village officials in the past couple of years have discussed following sustainable practices for future parking lot improvements, a decision that would come with a greater upfront expense, though using products such as permeable pavers have a longer life than asphalt and direct storm water away from the village’s sewer system. The village board called for increases in parking rates in October 2015, but the request for higher commuter parking rates had to be OK’d by Metra, because Lot 1 is on land owned by the Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railroad. The ability to charge the new rates were made part of a new 20-year lease agreement between Riverside and BNSF in June. According to a survey of parking rates charged in nearby municipalities, Riverside’s new rates are comparable to their neighbors’ rates, though they are slightly high per quarter than both Berwyn and Brookfield, the village’s immediate neighbors to the east and west, respectively. Berwyn charges commuters $100 per quarter for either street or garage parking. Brookfield charges $90 per quarter for commuter parking.
Riverside OK’s ‘to-go’ liquor In response to requests from a pair businesses – one to open soon and one sometime in the next year – Riverside now allows restaurants and brewpubs to include liquor sales for takeout and delivery orders, if those businesses opt to obtain a special add-on license permitting it. According to Sonya Abt, the village’s community development director, the owners of both LaBarra Ristorante, which is scheduled to open soon at 2 E. Burlington St., and Safehouse Brewing, under construction at 363-36 E. Burlington St., approached the village seeking an amendment to the liquor code to include liquor sales for carry out and delivery orders. The owners of LaBarra also requested a change in the hours for a Class E (full liquor) license, to begin liquor sales at 11 a.m. Monday through Friday and extend Sunday hours to 11 p.m. The code now for a Class E license mandates no sale of liquor prior to noon on weekdays or after 10 p.m. on Sunday. The cost for the add-on license allowing liquor to be sold with carry out and delivery orders will be $450 annually. Initially,
village staff had proposed separate addons for delivery and takeout at $450 apiece, but trustees decided to consolidate it. “Nine hundred dollars seems like a lot,” said Trustee Joseph Ballerine. According to an incentive agreement approved by the village board earlier this year, the $450 license fee for LaBarra’s addon license will be waived for the first three years the restaurant is open.

Students at Hauser Junior High School created a multimedia art project incorporating “thank you” messages to veterans and patriotic images underneath a painting of a stylized American flag.
HAUSER ART from page 3 start to finish. Along with the finished canvas, a short video will also be presented to the students, visitors and veterans on Veterans Day. On Nov. 11, Hauser has an entire morning dedicated to honoring veterans, starting with the sixth-grade program from 8:45 to 9:30 a.m., followed by a reception for veterans from 9:30 to 10:15 a.m. and concluding with a seventh- and eighth-grade program from 10:15 to 11 a.m. The music department will feature student performances.

DOCTOR
Clinic still operating from page 1 The clinic, which formerly was located in Melrose Park, was opened in January 2013 in Riverside by Joseph Giacchino, a former physician who was dubbed “Dr. Millionpills” by Chicago Tribune columnist John Kass during the 2010 and 2011 court hearings that led to the permanent revocation of Giacchino’s medical license. Giacchino, while he is unable to practice medicine or prescribe drugs, serves as an administrator for the Riverside clinic. Reached by telephone Monday morning by the Landmark, Giacchino said the clinic is still operating, though without the services of McMahon at this time. Asked to comment on McMahon’s suspension, Giacchino said, “I’m not privy to the details. He’s pursuing it with the De-
sions and festivities. “It’s a really great assembly,” Singh said. “It’s great for the veterans and it’s an awesome day. I feel like this is a great thing to have students experience.” Singh says he hopes that the canvas will find itself a permanent home to be displayed for the community in the near future. Currently, he is exploring the possibility of displaying the piece at the North Riverside VFW. Singh said he hoped the project made an impact on his students. “I think they’ve enjoyed the process and I hoped they got a better sense of what the veterans have done for us and what the American flag actually symbolizes to them,” he added. “I hope they got a better sense of what that day is about by going through this process.”
partment of Professional Regulation.” Dr. Paul Madison, who is under a federal indictment accusing him of insurance fraud, is listed as the president of Riverside Pain Management, according to Illinois Secretary of State records. The case against Madison, filed in December 2012, was supposed to go to trial earlier in 2016, but has been continued. There is no date set for the trial at this time. Madison was accused of submitting more than $3 million in false medical bills to 10 different health insurance companies and to the federal worker’s compensation program between 2005 and 2009. Madison continues to serve actively as a prescribing physician at Riverside Pain Management, Giacchino confirmed. McMahon is listed on the Illinois Secretary of State’s website as the secretary of Riverside Pain Management. According to the petition for temporary suspension filed on Oct. 28, the Chicago office of the federal Drug Enforcement

about 10 times with members of Stach’s family at Stach’s former apartment to collect items related to Brookfield and local history that he once owned. Each time, Ketchmark said, he left with his Ford Explorer packed window to window. According to Ketchmark, the historical society has hundreds of photos, boxes of old newspapers, historic village maps, books containing official village records and more. There are also one-of-a-kind items related to the village – from architectural drawings done in the 1960s when the south side neighborhoods around Ehlert Park were developed to a post top with the words “Portia Manor,” the original name of a north side subdivision, engraved on it to part of a business sign that used to adorn the exterior of what is now Irish Times to what appear to be railroad ties for the trolley line that used to run along Broadway Avenue to a piece of black marble believed to be part of the tellers’ counter of First National Bank of Brookfield when it was located in the 3700 block of Grand Boulevard. There are also door plates from the now-demolished original village hall (where Grossdale Station is now located), including the door plate for the village manager and council room, Ketchmark said. But Ketchmark said that’s just a start. Much of what the historical society now owns remains a mystery. Many of the items, like the many items related to Brookfield’s centennial and Brookfield Zoo, are self-explanatory. Others are not so obvious, since there’s no notation on most items. “We’ve got to get a few people together who have knowledge of the village’s history and
Meanwhile, the Brookfield Public Library, 3609 Grand Blvd., will host an estate sale of many of the other items Stach collected throughout his life on Sunday, Nov. 13 from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. It’s not your average estate sale, said Louann Drew of Enchanted Attic Custom estate Sales, which is overseeing the one-day event. “It’s almost all collectibles,” she said. The collection includes boxes and boxes of vintage books, some of which were still being sorted on Monday afternoon, toys, Disney memorabilia, printing plates from newspaper comic strips, Girl Scout collectibles, comic books, magazines, post cards and more. Photos are available online at by visiting enchantedatticsales.com and clicking the “Upcoming Sales” link. But that will just give a taste of what will be at the sale, Drew said. “Not even a dent of it is shown online yet,” Drew said. The sale will be held in the lower level of the library and people can begin signing up to enter the sale at 10:45 a.m., Drew said. “I’ve never done a sale in a library,” Drew said. “I have no idea what to expect.” Sandra Baumgardner of the Friends of the Brookfield Public Library was instrumental in working with Stach’s family to collect and organize the sale at the library. “We all know what a contributor he was to the community,” Baumgardner said. “We’re delighted to be supportive of the family.”
Agency used a confidential source to visit the clinic on two occasions, in July and September. During those visits McMahon allegedly provided the confidential source with six prescriptions for Norco, a controlled substance, in the amount of 90 pills per prescription, without ever examining the patient or obtaining the results of any medical tests that would have indicated something was wrong with the patient. The source reportedly walked into the office in July and handed $200 to Giacchino, who was working the front desk. Giacchino reportedly put the money into his pocket, and the source then met with McMahon for about 60 seconds before walking out with the prescriptions. The September visit largely followed the same pattern, according to the state’s petition to suspend McMahon’s license. McMahon accepts cash only, according to the suspension petition, which also states that McMahon prescribed more than 600,000 dosage units of controlled
substances, including Hydrocodone, Oxycodone, Soma and Amphetamine Salt Combo between Jan. 1, 2014 and May 1, 2016. The state also alleges that patients of the Riverside clinic are selling the pills they are prescribed, citing “multiple complaints” from Illinois pharmacists to the DEA regarding McMahon’s habit of prescribing large quantities of controlled substances. According to the suspension petition, DEA agents interviewed several pharmacists near Sterling, about 100 miles west of Riverside, who questioned the legitimacy of McMahon’s prescriptions. Most of the patients presenting prescriptions from the Riverside clinic were former patients of a doctor whose prescriptions those pharmacists refuse to fill. One patient of the Riverside clinic, according to the state’s suspension petition, runs “a crew” of people into McMahon’s office in order to get prescriptions for pills they subsequently sell.

RB High School, Brookfield ‘close’ on parking deal Less than 10 spaces stand in the way of resolution
By BOB SKOLNIK Contributing Reporter
Officials and lawyers for Riverside-Brookfield High School and the village of Brookfield are tantalizingly close to deal that would settle a lawsuit filed against the village by RBHS and result in a new parking lot north of Hollywood School. Though there’s still some quibbling over the number of parking spots, officials from RBHS and the village appear to be close to reaching a deal to end the high school’s lawsuit against the village. “I think we’re close and I think we’re literally trying to figure out what to do with handicapped parking but other than that the pieces are in place to get this finalized,” said District 208 Superintendent Kevin Skinkis. On Oct. 10, the village board voted to authorize its attorney, Rich Ramello, to make a settlement offer to RBHS. The offer was to allow a new 45-space parking lot north of Hollywood School where RBHS had desired to build a bigger lot and to renew the long term lease that RBHS has for a parking lot on Rockefeller Ave. In a statement before the vote authorizing the settlement offer, Brookfield Village President Kit Ketchmark read a statement explaining why the village was making the offer and detailing specifics. In his statement Ketchmark said the village would agree to allow RBHS “not to exceed 153 parking spots” at a parking lot that combined Rockefeller Avenue and a new lot.
The village also offered to renew the lease on the Rockefeller Avenue parking lot for 20 years at $1 per year. This year, RBHS paid the village $13,905 in rent for the Rockefeller lot. The actual resolution passed by the village board did not contain any specifics of the proposal and did not mention the 153 parking spots number. RBHS officials reacted favorably to the offer, but wanted to clarify a few issues. When the lawyers began to talk, it appeared that the total number of spaces the village was willing to allow was more like 147 or 148, based on the current configuration of the Rockefeller lot. The village had come up with the 153 number by adding 45 spaces in a new lot, which the village had previously said that if would accept, to 108 spots on Rockefeller. There was just one problem. There are only 102 parking spots in the Rockefeller Avenue lot. Ramello counted the number of spaces on Oct. 17. The original 2007 lease called for 108 spots on Rockefeller Avenue, but in recent years the village of Brookfield has been billing RBHS for 103 spaces. Apparently five spaces or so were lost when two small peninsulas were created in the middle of the lot for a fire hydrant on the north side of the lot and a walkway to the football stadium on the south side of the lot. Another space was apparently lost to make wider spaces for RBHS minibus parking. Three minibuses are normally
parked in the Rockefeller lot. Ramello clarified to the RBHS that the village offer was for a new 45-space lot plus up to five additional spaces to make up for the spaces that would be lost on Rockefeller because of a curb cut necessary for the new lot. RBHS officials claimed that the village had changed its offer, but Ketchmark maintains that the village did not. “We made an offer,” Ketchmark said. “They felt it wasn’t clear. We clarified our offer and we added on five more [parking spots].” Ramello said that since the original lease in 2007 called for 108 parking spots on Rockefeller that is the number he originally used to get to 153 spots. “Our view is that we didn’t backtrack, that it’s still 153,” Ramello said. “If you want to you can reconfigure those peninsulas so that you get 108 in there. It’s clear that the original lease was for 108 parking spaces.” Ramello said that he didn’t know which party caused the number of parking spaces on Rockefeller to drop. “I haven’t investigated who initiated those, the village or the school district, but the point of the matter is that the village believes if you wanted to you could get 108 spaces there,” Ramello said. “Obviously now it’s going to require some construction if you want take out those two peninsulas there.” RBHS is also asking the village to permit them to add the three handicapped parking
spaces that are required by law, but not to count the handicapped spaces against the number of spaces the village is willing to permit. Both sides appear frustrated that they are so close but haven’t been able to reach a deal. “If we could address the three handicapped spaces, I think we were really close to getting this done,” said Skinkis. Ketchmark pointed out that the school will save about $250,000 with the village essentially renting the Rockefeller lot to RBHS for nothing. School officials appreciated that offer but also felt that they spent more money than necessary to satisfy drainage concerns raised by the village when the built the new football stadium last year. Ketchmark said that the village wants to settle the lawsuit by Nov. 25, the deadline imposed by the village when it made its settlement offer last month. “We want to move on,” Ketchmark said. “We’re trying to work together with the school board. We’re trying to work together with the neighborhood. I don’t know if there’s necessarily a happy medium, but you’re trying to come to resolution on it.” School board members also would like to reach a deal. “Nobody wants to be in litigation with a neighbor,” school board member Ed Jepson said. “I’m optimistic that cooler heads will prevail on this and that we’ll be able to resolve this.”
Ames tops local schools on PARCC test School officials still unhappy with ever-changing assessment
By BOB SKOLNIK Contributing Reporter
For the second straight year, Ames School had the highest scores in the Landmark’s coverage area on the still controversial, statemandated PARCC exam which is given annually to all public school students in grades three through eight.. At Ames School, 62.5 percent of students met or exceeded expectations on the test given last spring, a slight increase from the 61.4 percent which did so in 2015. The test measured English Language Arts (ELA) and math. Elsewhere in Riverside Elementary District 96, 56 percent of Central School students met or exceeded expectations, while 50 percent of Hollywood School students and 48.5 percent of Blythe Park School students met or exceeded expectations.
Ames is the most ethnically diverse school in District 96. Last year 52.7 percent of Ames students were white, 39 percent were Hispanic, 3.6 percent were black, and 3.1 percent were Asian according to state records. Nearly 14 percent of Ames students were classified as low-income. “We attribute the success of our students at Ames to having supportive families and student-centered classroom teachers who take ownership for their student’s learning and growth,” said Ames School Principal Todd Gierman in an email. “The achievement of our students at Ames is definitely a team effort.” In District 96 as a whole, 56 percent of students of students met or exceeded expectations, a drop of just one point from last year. Statewide only 33 percent of students met or exceeded expectations. Another 26 percent of
District 96 students fell into the middle category of “approaching” expectations. At L.J. Hauser Junior High School, scores dropped a bit. In 2016, 53 percent of Hauser students met or exceeded expectations compared to 55 percent who did so in 2015. Scores in District 96 generally followed the state pattern of increasing a little bit in math and dropping a bit in English Language Arts, which is basically reading comprehension. In 2015, 61 percent of District 96 students met or exceeded state standards in ELA. In 2016, 55 percent did. Educators noted that the PARCC exam was different and shorter than its debut in 2015, making comparisons between years difficult. However, Merryl Brownlow, District 96’s assistant superintendent for curriculum and instruction, said the district is in the process of revamping its approach to teaching ELA to
better align its instruction to the skills tested on the PARCC exam. “Our core curriculum wasn’t aligned to what the test was asking kids to do,” Brownlow said. Brownlow said that the slight drop in scores in District 96 could perhaps be attributed to fact that three times the number of District 96 students opted out of the PARCC exam this year compared to last year. In 2016, a total of 37 students in District 96 opted out of the ELA portion of the exam compared to just 11 in 2015. In math, 36 District 96 students opted out of the exam last spring compared to just 12 who did so last year. “Most of those students [who opted out of taking the exam were our high-performing students,” Brownlow said.

D95 scores up a bit
Mixed bag in D94, 102, 103
Scores improved slightly in BrookfieldLaGrange Park District 95 in 2016. At S.E. Gross Middle School, 41 percent of students met or exceeded expectations compared to 37 percent in 2015. Another 36 percent partially met expectations last spring compared to 33 percent in 2015. In math, the percentage of S.E. Gross students meeting or exceeding expectations rose from 26 percent to 32 percent. In ELA, Gross students bucked the state trend of declining scores by increasing the percentage of students who met or exceeded expectations to 50 percent from 47 percent. “We are progressing across the board,” said Ryan Evans the principal at S.E. Gross. “We focused on aligning with the Common Core [and] we brought in a new a new writing curriculum; all these things in concert play a role in that.” District 95 Superintendent Mark Kuzniewski doesn’t think much of the PARCC exam and said he doesn’t pay much attention to the scores. “They just don’t give us anything valuable or reliable,” Kuzniewski said. Kuzniewski says another test his district and other local districts use, the Measures
Scores dropped at Komarek School in North Riverside in 2016, with 36 percent of students meeting or exceeding expectations compared the 40 percent who did so in 2015. District 94 Superintendent Brian Ganan said that it was hard to compare year-to-year results because the PARCC exam had changed. “It’s really so hard to put your pulse on it, because the test was different again this year,” Ganan. At Congress Park School in southwest Brookfield, 49 percent of students met or exceeded state averages, up one point from 2015. The most diverse school in LaGrangeBrookfield District 102, 45 percent of Congress Park students are classified as lowincome. Across all schools in District 102, 63 percent of student met or exceeded expectations. At Lincoln School, part of Lyons-Brookfield District 103 in southeast Brookfield, where 68 percent of the students are from low income families, just 19 percent of students met or exceeded expectations while another 29 percent fell into the middle category of approached expectations. Lincoln’s scores slightly improved from 2015, when only 17 percent met expectations.

Opinion THE LANDMARK VIEW
So long and good riddance
W
ell, that was unpleasant. The United States of America has elected presidents under some pretty trying circumstances. Roosevelt was re-elected in the midst of a world war and Abraham Lincoln in the midst of a full-blown, shooting civil war. The nation emerged from those elections intact, even unified, although in the 1860s it was at the point of a gun. Still the republic survived, grew. With all of that history and with the history of the past century as a road map of where not to go, the U.S. ended up with a presidential election campaign this year where vast swaths of the nation were insulted and an entire political party surrendered itself to the ravings of a bullying son of privilege who played the eternal victim and for whom reality was no obstacle to hurdle. Anyone with any social media presence saw the hate metastasize. Fact-free conversations weren’t relegated to the national political stage. They raged in Facebook threads and Twitter feeds, torrents of bigotry gleefully unshackled from the mantle of shame. It was wholly awful and repulsive to see. And with local elections on the horizon in spring of 2017, we wonder and fear how deeply the damage done to our national political discourse and in the faith of democratic institutions has burrowed. Next spring, many of the municipalities in the area will hold elections for mayors, presidents, trustees, school board members and more. In the past, while there’s always been political debate, the tone has never fallen so low as that dialed in by Donald Trump in 2016. The challenge at the local level is to make sure that it doesn’t. We are not each other’s enemies. We all live in the same communities; we’re neighbors. We all pay taxes to support the local governmental institutions that provide police and fire protection, maintain roads and sewers and water mains, and offer public services like recreation and libraries and public schools. The people running for these offices at the local level are residents, often simply volunteering their time. Cabals and conspiracies are exceedingly rare, and to lightly charge your neighbors of being on the take or in it for reasons other than public service, without a shred of evidence, is the kind of dialogue that we’re hearing now nationally. But we should take pains to make sure that our local elections don’t devolve into the issue-free reality TV show that was the 2016 presidential campaign. If there’s no faith in local government, there’s no faith in ourselves. So when you hear someone who says they’d like a hand in governing a community like Riverside or Brookfield or North Riverside but at the same time expresses doubt in the ability of government institutions to work in the interest of residents, that’s when you ought to look good and hard at that messenger. That’s the time to wonder, if government is incapable of working in the best interests of residents, whose interests exactly will your government be working to improve?

RBHS boys, girls excel at cross country state meet Nunez earns all-state recognition; Jurgens, Janney lead girls to highest state finish
By BILL STONE

Contributing Reporter
iverside-Brookfield senior boys cross country runner Mateo Nunez accepted the torch as team leader from graduated Andrew LeMesurier. Before the Class 2A state meet Saturday, Nunez even looked the part. Building upon what LeMesurier started, Nunez and the Bulldogs’ lineup bleached their hair at the house of senior Nick Allegretti’s aunt just before sectionals. “(LeMesurier) was like, ‘We’re starting to get better, get a little more success. You should bring some attention,’ ” Nunez said. “It’s kind of a nice conversation starter (in school). I’m OK with the blonde hair. I can live with it.” The shade matches nicely with Nunez’s all-state medal for a top-25 finish. Nunez was 16th at Peoria’s Detweiller Park in 14 minutes, 57 seconds for 3.0 miles, a personal-record time by about 30 seconds. The Bulldogs finished 11th (293 points) in their first state team appearance since 2011. Their stellar showing followed the RBHS girls taking a program-best 12th. This is the first time both teams reached state the same year. Junior Connor O’Brien (67th, 15:49) missed his PR by one second, followed by juniors Jacob Wardzala (93rd, 16:04) and Jack Sagan (117th, 16:18), senior Matt Zamudio (121st, 16:20), Allegretti (158th, 16:51) and junior Ryan Hahn (173rd, 17:02). Nunez is the Bulldogs’ first all-stater since 1975. Last year, he was 40th as an individual qualifier (15:26), 17 seconds from 25th. “I was 23rd, 25th the whole time. Something about this last stretch always gets me,” Nunez said. “This year, I just committed myself. I wanted top 10. I just did not want to give in and say I should have given it everything I had because I did.”
After missing 2015 state by two places at sectionals, the young Bulldogs were determined to improve. This is RBHS’s highest finish in four state appearances since taking second to York in 1973. “I’m very happy for (Nunez), for all of the guys. They ran a good race. They ran a tough race,” RBHS coach Larry

The Riverside-Brookfield High School girls cross country team had their highest state finish (12th place, 363 points) at the 2A final. (Below) Led by all-state performer Mateo Nunez (#1347), the RBHS boys placed 11th with 293 points at the 2A final. Forberg said. “What’s really nice is they’re coachable guys. They listen and they respond well.”
RBHS girls During her second state cross country race, RBHS junior Hailey Jurgens certainly didn’t feel alone. Sophomore teammate Tara Janney was nearby. “The first two miles I was just running for my team and I had a huge smile on my face. The last mile, when I saw Tara I was like, ‘We can do this. We can run together,’ ” Jurgens said. They led the Bulldogs to their highest state finish (12th, 363) in the 2A girls final with no seniors. Jurgens (48th, 18:21), Janney (57th, 18:31) and sophomore Nadia Kaczmarz (74th, 18:50) had a 29-second split, followed by freshman Emma Fortman (139th, 19:32), sophomores Melissa Oliveira Liz (168th, 20:03) and Cora Lutes (170th, 20:03) and junior Emma Forberg (195th, 20:35). The Bulldogs had five personal-record times to surpass taking 18th in 2008, the first of their four state trips. Jurgens was 38th (18:18) as a 2014 individual qualifier. “Having these ladies supporting me every single day, pushing me, it just felt amazing,” Jurgens said. “The whole experience (this year) is a lot more fun. My freshman year I just put so much pressure on myself. Now I get to share my previous knowledge.”

Bulldogs’ run ends in 4A volleyball quarters Led by Rettke, RBHS wins 32 games and conference title in another banner season BY MATT LE CREN Contributing Reporter
Although the Riverside-Brookfield High School girls volleyball team’s bid for a state title fell three wins short, the Bulldogs had another superb season under coach Dan Bonarigo. Niles West outlasted RBHS 25-22, 22-25, 31-29 in an epic supersectional match last week. Prior to their disappointing loss to the Wolves, RBHS seniors Dana Rettke and Gia Cinkay propelled the secondseeded Bulldogs to a 25-19, 19-25, 25-18 upset of top-seeded Glenbard West at the Class 4A Addison Trail Sectional final. “Honestly, it’s crazy,” said Rettke, who blasted 25 kills against Glenbard West. “This team has by far exceeded my expectations of this season. “When’s the last time we won, 1988? That’s unbelievable. “We just played so hard. ‘Bon’ has been telling us all season that we’ve got to get on the floor and make those effort plays, and we did that today. We played lights out. It was great.” ‘Bon’ is RBHS coach Dan Bonarigo, whose emphasis on defense actually gives the Wisconsin-bound Rettke more opportunities for kills. “We just keep talking about committing all to defense and just going after everything and getting on the floor,” Bonarigo said. “That really makes a difference for us because Dana can put a lot of balls away, but if we don’t return what they’re putting over, we’re not going to get as many kills or as many opportunities. “The defense is what gave us a chance today and it just gives Dana and (Cinkay) that many more swings.” While Glenbard West (28-11) had graduated most of the top hitters from their 2015 team that finished second in the
state, the Hilltoppers were still a formidable opponent, with great defense and a diversified attack. “That was the speech (the players) got all week; (Glenbard) was an experienced team,” Bonarigo said. “They know how to win. “It doesn’t matter how many kids were on the floor last year, they expect to win. So that’s a huge win for our program.” The Bulldogs (32-8) got it done in impressive fashion, closing out a tight opening game on kills from Rettke and Cinkay and a Glenbard West error. RBHS vaulted out to a 6-1 lead on Rettke’s serve in Game 2, but the Hilltoppers roared back to tie the match on the strength of Ellory Graff, Amanda Peterson and Ella Ridinger, who combined for 24 kills. Glenbard West led 7-6 in Game 3 when sophomore setter Leah Rettke fed her sister three consecutive plays for kills and the Bulldogs never trailed again. “We had a bit of a down in Game 2, which was kind of frustrating,” Dana Rettke said. “We weren’t making those hustle plays and we were just being passive.” The younger Rettke’s rise turned the tide. “I think so,” Dana Rettke said. “It kind of reassured us that we’ll get those big passes, we’ll get those good sets and good hits. I was so proud of Leah.” So was Bonarigo. “I think (that was the moment) when Leah just realized that was what it was going to take to win and it didn’t matter that they knew that Dana was going to get the ball every time,” Bonarigo said. “They had to stop her and they weren’t stopping her.” Indeed, Dana Rettke had nine of her kills down the stretch,

Elite 8-bound Friars edge Lake Zurich
Riding a six-game win streak, Fenwick faces host Jacobs next in 7A quarterfinals By MARTY FARMER Sports Editor
Reminiscent of the countless Chicago Cubs fans who predicted their beloved team would win the World Series, a Fenwick High School football fan proudly held a sign, “It’s gonna happen: Fenwick 2017 Class 7A State Champion.” While it remains to be seen if Fenwick makes good on that prognostication, the Friars took a step closer with a 2014 win over Lake Zurich Friday at Triton College in River Grove. The victory propels Fenwick to just three wins away from its first state championship and a second Elite 8 appearance in the past three seasons. Fenwick (10-1) travels to Algonquin to take on Jacobs (7-4) on Saturday, Nov. 12. Kickoff is 3 p.m. The Friars and visiting Bears provided anxious fans a tale of two halves on Saturday. The teams combined for 34 points in the first half with Fenwick leading 20-14 at the break, followed by a scoreless defensive battle in the second half. “I wish we played as well offensively in the second half as we did the first but it was a hard-fought game,” Fenwick coach Gene Nudo said. “Our defense was great in the second half. The guys stepped up and made some huge plays for us. “This is our second time in three seasons making the state quarterfinals. We’re excited about the opportunity to hopefully play well and go ever farther this year.”

Freshman linebacker Jacob Kaminski has made an immediate impact for the Friars this season. Defensive end Elllis Taylor (4 solo tackles, 2 assisted tackles) defensive lineman Adrian Nourse (5 solo tackles), linebackers Brett Moorman, Marty Stein, Jacob Kaminski (5 solo tackles, 1 assisted tackle) and Jason Ivery and cor-
nerbacks Lorente and Lorenzano Blakeney, Ryan Chapman and Alex Pierson also contributed to the Friars’ stellar performance in the second half. “We are 7-1 at home this season,” Moorman said. “Triton really feels like home for us.” In the first half, Fenwick scored on three of four possessions to build a 20-7 lead with 8:05 left in the second quarter. The Friars opened the game with an impressive 10-play, 80-yard scoring drive capped off senior quarterback Jacob Keller’s one-yard run to lead 6-0 at the 7:48 mark of the first quarter. Connor Hendzel missed the PAT. Two plays later, Lake Zurich responded with a 70-yard touchdown run by diminutive running back Joey Stutzman (5-foot7, 160 pounds) to give the Bears their lone lead of the game at 7-6 after Kyle Obsuszt’s PAT sailed through the uprights. Keller connected with senior wide receiver Sherman Martin on a 36-yard touchdown pass as the Friars regained the lead at 13-7 with 4:34 in the first quarter. On the Friars’ next offensive series, Keller completed a 42yard pass to Martin and an 11-yard pass to senior running back Conner Lillig which moved the ball inside the Bears’ 10. Lillig scored on a 7-yard touchdown run, extending Fenwick’s advantage to 20-7. Keller finished 13 of 21 on passing attempts for 224 yards and a touchdown. Lillig rushed for 97 yards and a touchdown on 24 carries. Martin had three catches for 119 yards and O’Laughlin caught five passes for 78 yards.
